Jack Monroe #218 A chance find at Pitsea Market

[ChickenPorridge]

I see from the vact that Jack and SB had 'takeout' that American Jack is back. I have an almost irrational dislike of American Jack, and she can run and tell that to the CPS.

Big following in America apparently, huge. Second largest audience. She has to write like that so that they understand. Now stop mithering about stuff you know nothing about.

I missed the end of the last thread. Did she make eggy pumpkin foods. Im too scares too look.

No, you're safe, just some takeaway and snotty egg thing

So I’ve read the article. In news that will shock no one, it’s very contradictory. Just a few points;

1. References spiralling into alcoholism due to online hate yet later makes reference to this going on for years. Which is it then?
2. I can remember as early as 2019 her talking about drinking and needing to stop.

Next couple of points are from my perspective as someone in long term recovery from alcoholism and she is literally boiling my piss.
3. I cannot imagine any good sponsor or counsellor advising her to do this. It’s ego based as it’s finest with zero humility.
4. She is giving the impression she has a paid role at this place she is advertising. I suspect More likely she is doing some sort of volunteer role as would be unlikely not to mention unethical to have someone that early in recovery working for them. Why not just say that? Again, ego.
5. This one makes me particularly angry. It is a programme of HONESTY. She actually doesn’t owe anyone her truth but if you are going to use your addiction to make money and get publicly, at least be honest about it. Her timelines and stories don’t make sense.

The reality is that she made choices. She is not blameless nor powerless. She is not working the programme she claims to by blaming others like she does. Not to mention putting her family through more tit by dragging all this through the bloody mud.

Book two is indeed, though I've never cooked from it so it's off to the charity shop. Jack is in the recycling.

See you are a nice ninny unlike me, I would send it to her publisher without postage

Just received from Mr Knit...

So he does pay attention.

She's brewing up a slow cooker's worth of pumpkin spiced lattes, isn't she?

 

[Sideboard Bob]

Lattes??
All together now…
JACK DOESN’T DRINK COFFEE!

Fellowship frauen, mithering on again about “that” essay, I see there was much mention of making a list of “resentments” which step would that relate to, out of interest?
I have had friends who have done the programme and I know one had a very “angry” phase early on and I’d guess it was after this!

She'll be using the rinsed baked beans.

Beans be beans.

I know that, realistically, Jack's 30 days of "delicious" will last as long as the Gaily Mail. But my god, I would LOVE if she kept it up for the full month. New slop every day?! Be still my beating heart.

Not even sure if I should admit this here, but I’m an Irish Frau who says “takeout”. Perhaps it’s the same for our little Greek Leprechaun? Should I take my jaunty hat and feck the feck off?

@Nottonightbabe give us a laugh with a pointless tin can recipe!

It’s step 4

Yikes the crowdfunding of the books for the TT has stalled. Only another £750 will see them be able to order 1000 copies!

Are the poor souls not suffering enough needed to use a food bank without giving them that for Christmas? Raise the money & buy some posh biscuits or something to give to them as a treat.

The arrogance to think that is the best way to raise funds for trussell trust. Absolute vanity project.

It’s ok, in order to make anything out of that book you need every other ingredient ever in the house.
Make a big cake but put a tin of drained fruit cocktail in the batter.
Make homemade baked beans by rinsing beans therefore using twice the resources you should need.
The cannellini bean buerre bland with white wine and white wine vinegar

I don't see the point of giving away cookbooks like that, in this day and age everyone has a phone with the Internet on it. There's always somewhere with free Wi-Fi, so basically people can get an infinite number of recipes for free online without lining the pockets of a charlatan.

£750 will get you 750x4 pack of Asda beans. So 3000 tins of beans which people can actually eat and kids generally like baked beans. But yeah, buy them a book of bullshit.

But how would you make yourself look good!
